    Staff was very helpful. The clerk who checked us in was very knowledgeable and professional. David I think his name was. He offered shuttle service and our choice of floors. We went to a show so stayed out late. The lady behind the desk was helpful getting us a late check out. Only downside was a constant knocking coming from the bathroom pipes. Also towards the morning the AC seemed not to kick on as often as it should have to keep the temperature I had selected. Other than that is was a good experience, and for a great price. Would definitely consider staying there again if I were to go back to Houston.

    Right in the city, but clean and safe. Nice nighttime view from our room. Nice, standard breakfast that they kept fully stocked. The lady at the front desk couldn’t have been more helpful or personable. The free shuttle to the Astros game was an excellent perk with a very friendly driver. Didn’t take it back because we stayed for fireworks. Would definitely stay here again.

    It was a nice, clean, modern and good size room, breakfast was included in the stay, the hotel location was very walkable to many places on our itinerary in the city, and the hotel staff was friendly + helpful It took over an hour to check in (we did come in during a busy event weekend), and the parking garage was a little bit gross and kind of steep to drive down with our car but glad that was offered ($25 per day) versus street parking

    Broken AC that was affecting the whole building but the establishment wasn't aware. Took hours to fix. A horribly poor water flow from the showerhead, which also the establishment was completely unaware. Aren't their staff visiting each room almost everyday?

    Was a good place when it was a Holiday Inn. Since the renos and name change I would highly recommend this place now. Rooms were very clean. Shower has great pressure and feels very clean. Staff were amazing when I had a delayed flight and was dealing with all that mess. Location is very walkable to the Toyota Center. Walkable to Astros games and has a train stop right up the road to get to Texans games. Breakfast was also complimentary and had good options. Highly recommend.

    It’s my understanding that the units were undergoing some type of issues because our room wasn’t cooling off but all and all the hotel was great choice. A week later I’m still saying how nice of a stay this was. We even had a chance to sit and enjoy the lounge located on the second floor. It was quiet and allowed us to have a view of the city lights. I loved it! The staff was very pleasant and the Hotels’s Transportation Driver, David was very helpful in getting us to all of our destinations. He also made recommendations for our dine in and entertainment experiences, in which we were able to thoroughly enjoy. We will be back soon!!! THANK YOU!!

    Only to wake up the next day prepare yourself To use said shuttle And then be told “due to low demand it’s not running” it’s infuriating When the sheets give you a third degree rug burn just by getting into the bed - it’s problematic When the elevators scrape and tick and you look to seee there’s no information about when it was last inspected It’s problematic

    David at the front desk and David with concierge service were great. The AC wasn’t too good though, the room never got colder than 72 . Maintenance came and said it was blowing cold and we could move rooms but it was late so we didn’t want to . Maintenance did come fast though and so it is what it is . Staff was really nice . Could have had a better spread. No decaf.

    Horrible staff not helpful at all, super dirty environment, we found bedbugs and got a refund and booked at staybridge suites instead, 5min walk from Daikin and paid the same as we wouldve at Holiday Inn, but with free breakfast, a private suite with a kitchen and separate rooms, big gym and pool, amazing staff , super helpful and even held our luggage for a couple hours after checkout. Definitely staying with staybridge suites again.

    I was not aware there was a $300 deposit for incidentals. I used my CashApp card and called to follow up on the pending charge. To my surprise I was told that CashApp does not get the credit back. No one told me that was the case when my card was used. This was my family's first time in Houston, which everything else was a great experience except everything about this hotel. The $300 deposit not being refunded was the last straw.

    This property was gross. Over priced for a cheer competition where my daughter ended up with bed bugs. They ran out of blankets and had no means of keeping our luggage although we had a late flight and early check out. We asked to check out a bit later and that was also denied. Called corporate and they did nothing for us. I guess I can say it’s expected from a Holiday Inn. First and last time I stay in one.

    The staff at night, especially the old lady with a faded greenish eyeliner , is not very nice. The words she uses when correcting mistakes are not the kindest.

    The location is amazing and the price is honestly great for being right downtown.They’re doing major remodeling right now and it’s kind of a mess. The lobby is chaotic, my room had a really strong chemical smell, and the shower door wouldn't even close. Plus, only one elevator is working—I ended up waiting like 10 minutes just to get downstairs during the morning rush.Breakfast isn't free, it’s ten bucks a person. Parking is another 30 dollars a night, though that’s pretty standard for downtown. Also, the staff were just okay—not really as welcoming as you’d hope.If you’re on a tight budget and just need a cheap place to crash downtown, it works. Otherwise, I’d probably hold off until the renovations are completely done.

    The bathroom lighting is very dim, making it difficult to apply makeup or do hair. Breakfast is available for $10 but is not included and requires a ticket; the attendant is very strict about this. Parking is $30 per day in a garage that is somewhat in disarray due to construction. A major plus is that although checkout is at 11:00 AM, garage access is allowed until 11:59 PM, which was very helpful. We were in town for the Lone Star Regional Volleyball tournament at the convention center, and with Sunday game times being TBA, the extended parking access added convenience. The rail train is located across the street, but there is significant walking between connections. While inexpensive (about $1.25 per person per ride), it can be confusing and frustrating if you’re unfamiliar with the city. We found Uber/Lyft to be a more convenient option.

    The hotel is under construction so it made our stay bad. Lobby is completely gutted and workers in and out building stuff and loud . They were also outside our room hall doing work . The restaurant closed except for breakfast made it inconvenient to have to leave and find place to eat . The terrace was closed for remodeling . The staff was great and shuttle driver was great .

    The room was clean but they are Renovating the property. I went to get ice through the stairs and got trapped and had to go to the second floor to be able to come out and then find a working elevator. This is dangerous! Stairs should be available at all times with your key card. Everything in the front lobby was under construction. Signs not to use this or that were not posted. It was expensive too.
